Warning and Safety instructions

Technical safety

Before installation, check the cooker

hood for visible signs of damage. Under no circumstances should you use a damaged appliance. It could be dangerous.

Before connecting the appliance to

the mains supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency details given on the data plate correspond with the on-site electricity supply, otherwise the appliance could be damaged. Consult a qualified electrician if in any doubt.

The electrical safety of this

appliance can only be guaranteed if it is correctly earthed. It is most important that this basic safety requirement is present and tested regularly, and where there is any doubt, the household wiring system should be inspected by a qualified electrician. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for the consequences of an inadequate earthing system (e.g. electric shock).

Installation, maintenance and

repairs may only be carried out by a

Miele authorised person in accordance

with current national and local safety

regulations.

Repairs and other work by unqualified

persons could be dangerous. The

manufacturer cannot be held liable for

unauthorised work.

Faulty components must only be

replaced by genuine Miele original

parts. The manufacturer can only

guarantee the safety of the appliance

when Miele replacement parts are

used.

During installation, maintenance and

repair work, the appliance must be

disconnected from the mains electricity

supply.

For safety reasons, this appliance

may only be used when it has been fully installed.

Only open the housing as described

in the instructions given in the installation sheet and in the Cleaning and care section of this booklet. Under no circumstances should any other parts of the housing be opened. Tampering with electrical connections or components and mechanical parts is highly dangerous to the user, and can cause operational faults.

Warning and Safety instructions

Do not connect the appliance to the

mains electricity supply by a multi-socket unit or an extension lead. These do not guarantee the required safety of the appliance (e.g. danger of overheating).

For appliances with an external fan

motor fitted (...EXT models) the connection of the two units must be made using the connection cable and the plug connectors. These models may only be combined with a Miele external motor.

This appliance must not be used in

a non-stationary location (e.g. on a ship).

In areas which may be subject to

infestation by cockroaches or other vermin, pay particular attention to keeping the appliance and its surroundings in a clean condition at all times. Any damage which may be caused by cockroaches or other vermin will not be covered by the guarantee.

Using at the same time as other

heating appliances that depend on

the air from the room

Warning - danger of toxic fumes

Great care should be taken when

using the cooker hood at the same time

and in the same room or area of the

house as another heating appliance

which depends on the air in the room.

Such appliances include gas, oil, wood

or coal-fired boilers and heaters,

continuous flow or other water heaters,

gas hobs, cookers or ovens which draw

air in from the room and duct exhaust

gases out through a chimney or

extraction ducting.

When used in extraction mode, with or

without an external motor fitted, the

appliance draws air in from the room in

which it is installed and from

neighbouring rooms.

If there is insufficient air, an

underpressure will occur. The heating

appliance may be starved of oxygen,

impairing combustion.

Harmful gases could be drawn out of

the chimney or extraction ducting back

into the room, with potentially fatal

consequences.

Warning and Safety instructions

In order to ensure safe operation, and to prevent gases given off by the heating appliances from being drawn back into the room when the cooker hood and the heater are in operation simultaneously, an underpressure of

0.04 mbar (4 pa) is the maximum permissible in the room.

Ventilation can be maintained by air inlets which must not be blocked, in windows, doors and outside wall vents, or by other technical measures, such as ensuring that the cooker hood can only be switched on when the heating appliance is switched off or vice versa. A ventilation brick alone is not generally sufficient to ensure safe ventilation.

The overall ventilation condition of the dwelling must be taken into account. If in any doubt, the advice of a competent builder or, for gas, a qualified gas fitter (GasSafe registered in the UK) must be sought.

If the hood is being operated in recirculation mode, the above restrictions do not apply.

Warning and Safety instructions

Correct use

Never use an open flame beneath

the cooker hood. To avoid the danger of fire, do not flambé or grill over an open flame. When switched on, the cooker hood could draw flames into the filter. Fat particles drawn into the cooker hood present a fire hazard.

When using the cooker hood over a

gas hob, ensure that any burners in use are always covered by a pan. Switch the cooking zone off when a pan is removed, even for a short time. Regulate the flame so that it does not burn up the sides of the pan. Do not allow the pans to overheat excessively (e.g. when using a wok). The cooker hood can become damaged when exposed to excessive heat.

Always switch the cooker hood on

when a cooking zone is in use, otherwise condensation may collect in the hood, which could cause corrosion.

When cooking with oil or fat, chip

pans and deep fat fryers etc, do not leave the pans unattended. Never leave an open grill unattended when grilling. Overheated oil and fat can ignite and could set the cooker hood on fire.

Do not use the cooker hood without

the filters in place. This way you will avoid the risk of grease and dirt getting into the appliance and hindering its smooth operation.

The cooker hood can get very hot

during cooking due to heat rising from the hob. Do not touch the housing or the grease filters until the cooker hood has cooled down.

Do not use a steam-cleaner to clean

this appliance. Steam could reach electrical components and cause a short circuit.

Correct installation

Refer to the cooker or hob

manufacturer's instructions as to whether a cooker hood may be operated above the cooker/hob.

The minimum safety distances

between the top of the cooker or hob and the bottom of the cooker hood given in the "Appliance dimensions" section of this booklet must be maintained, unless the hob manufacturer states that a greater safety distance is required.

If more than one cooking appliance is fitted beneath the cooker hood, and they have different minimum safety distances to the cooker hood, select the greater distance.

Safety regulations prohibit the fitting

of a cooker hood over solid fuel stoves.

The filters should be regularly

cleaned or changed as appropriate. Saturated filters are a fire hazard. See "Cleaning and care".

Warning and Safety instructions

All ducting, pipework and fittings

must be of non-flammable material. These can be obtained from the Miele Spare Parts department or from builders' merchants.

The appliance must not be

connected to a chimney or vent flue which is in use. Neither should it be connected to ducting which ventilates rooms with fireplaces.

If exhaust air is to be extracted into

a chimney or ventilation duct no longer used for other purposes, seek professional advice.

Accessories

Only use genuine Miele spare parts

and accessories with this appliance. If spare parts or accessories from other manufacturers are used, this will invalidate the guarantee, and Miele cannot accept liability.

The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by non-compliance with these Warning and Safety instructions.

Description of the functions10Description of the appliance

The cooker hood works with

. . . air extraction:

The air is drawn in, cleaned by the grease filter and then directed outside.

If the on-site ventilation system does not have a non-return flap, then the non-return flap supplied with the appliance must be fitted in the exhaust socket in the motor unit.

Having a non-return flap fitted in the ducting ensures that air, once ducted to the outside, cannot get back into the room again.

The flap is closed when the cooker hood is switched off.

When the cooker hood is switched on, the non-return flap opens for the cooking vapours to be blown directly outside.

. . . air recirculation:

(air recirculation conversion kit required)

The air is drawn in and cleaned first by the grease filter and then by a charcoal filter. The cleaned air is then recirculated back into the kitchen.

Charcoal filters are available to order through your Dealer or the Miele Spare Parts Department or via the internet on www.miele-shop.com. (See back cover for contact details and "Technical Data" for model number).

Before using the cooker hood in recirculation mode, ensure that the charcoal filter is in place; see "Cleaning and care".

...anexternal motor:

(EXT models only)

The EXT models are designed to be connected to an external motor located outside the room.

The external motor is connected to the cooker hood by means of a control cable, and is operated by the controls on the cooker hood.
